Different from the existing neural network dynamic models, the given model in this paper is focused on the impact of parameter perturbation and strong mismatch, where strong mismatch includes parameter mismatch and time-varying delay mismatch. These characteristics can make the model be closer to the actual situation. A delay-independent feedback control scheme, which can stabilize the error system within finite-time regardless of whether the past state is known or not, is designed. It is worth noting that the constant is replaced by a function with the exponential term in the delay-independent controller, which can save the control cost to a certain extent. Based on the integral inequality technique, some sufficient conditions for MBAMNNs to converge to the equilibrium point within finite-time are provided. The validity and correctness of the theoretical results are finally confirmed by numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"8 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139380630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, time delay exists in many physical actuators, and the system performance will be affected by such actuator delay and faults. However, the results of studies that attempt to compensate for unknown failures of actuators with time delay are still very limited. In this paper, such a problem is studied, and an adaptive control scheme is proposed based on backstepping approaches. First, the input delay of actuator faults and output disturbances are transformed into unknown effects on the output signal. In the backstepping recursive design, these unknown effects will accumulate to the last step of the controller design. Then, a new Lyapunov function is constructed by introducing auxiliary signals to prove the stability of the system. It is shown that the proposed control scheme can compensate for the effects caused by unknown actuator failures and input delays. The stability of the closed-loop system can be guaranteed by this adaptive controller. Finally, simulation studies are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"5 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139380533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They calculate yaw by measuring Earth’s magnetic field’s horizontal components. However, in the presence of tilt (pitch or roll), a tilt-compensation operation is necessary. This is usually done by projecting measurements onto a horizontal plane. This method has limitations, particularly for large tilt angles and when the IMU is pointing toward the east or west directions. In this paper, we expose the shortcomings of this conventional approach and propose a novel machine learning–based solution employing an artificial neural network (ANN). This method eliminates the need to determine tilt angles and uses accelerometer and magnetometer measurements as its inputs. The dataset for training and testing the ANN was collected based on a 3D nonmagnetic scaled platform, using a low-cost IMU and a Raspberry Pi platform. On one hand, our method outperforms the conventional tilt-compensation technique and other complementary filters (Madgwick and Mahony) in terms of accuracy, as evidenced by the root mean square error (RMSE = 1.95°). However, this superiority comes at the expense of a more complex system that consumes more processing time.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"52 50","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138949394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially so when there are constraints in the sample size. One proposed strategy is to vary the sample size according to the most recent information. However, a side-sensitive synthetic chart monitoring the coefficient of variation with variable sample size is not available. This paper contributes to the literature by developing a variable sample size side-sensitive synthetic chart for the coefficient of variation. The main contributions are in terms of illustrating the operations of the chart, deriving the formulae to evaluate its performance and developing the algorithms to optimize its performance. Comparisons with current charts show that the proposed chart outperforms all existing synthetic-type charts monitoring the coefficient of variation. The proposed chart also outperforms the variable sample size coefficient of variation chart for all shift sizes.

This paper proposes an adaptive novel elliptic trajectory formula-based tracking algorithm for received signal strength indicator (ANETF-RSSI) which dynamically optimizes model parameters based on energy-associated RSSI measurement errors. ANETF-RSSI generates a variable two-dimensional (2D) RSSI map to identify optimal paths, even under challenging conditions like circular flight paths, varying operating ranges, and accelerated maneuvering, which causes uncertainty into RSSI measurements during flight. In contrast to previous methods, the proposed approach eliminates the reliance on telemetry data such as GPS or complex multiantenna configurations, ensuring robust UAV communication continuity across routes ranging from 100 m to 100 km, even as the UAV rotates around the antenna. This method offers substantial contributions, including enhanced monitoring precision, simplified hardware configurations, continuous tracking with superior accuracy, and adaptability to diverse range routes without the need for preflight parameter tuning. Performance evaluations demonstrate that the proposed ANETF-RSSI method consistently outperforms existing technique, improving nominal performance by 32.02% in the most challenging operational scenarios and achieving a remarkable 48.76% improvement in minimum RSSI values. Consequently, this research provides a versatile and adaptive tracking solution for unexpected UAV flight trajectories.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138595464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike linear systems, nonlinear systems may need parameters that are continuously tuned at different operating points to provide stability and desired behaviours. This study aims to develop a solution for tuning proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller parameters as opposed to changing the operating points of a nonlinear system. Most tuning methods calculate parameters according to the system’s step or frequency response. However, adaptive controllers have self-tuneable parameters or control rules. The proposed algorithm in this paper contains a controller, an estimator, and a reference model, and uses the system model. Unlike the model reference adaptive control method, the proposed controller has tuneable controller parameters estimated by the extended Kalman–Bucy filter. The filter estimates the controller parameters to make the system perform like the auxiliary ideal reference model to ensure minimum-time consumption. Hence, this study aims to develop an algorithm that will automatically calculate controller parameters for each operating point of the controlled chaotic or nonlinear system to minimize settling time at each operating point. The proposed algorithm is implemented in a unified chaotic system in which the estimator and controller of the system run together. Simulation results confirm the performance of the proposed algorithm. In addition, the simulation results provide strong evidence that the proposed algorithm can be an effective tool for controlling nonlinear or chaotic systems.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"36 S159","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135341921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current anomaly detection methods in multivariate time series often require prior clustering, training data, or cannot distinguish local and global anomalies. Furthermore, no generalized metric exists to evaluate and compare different prediction functions regarding their amount of anomalous behavior. We propose a novel methodology to detect local and global anomalies in time series data of dynamical systems. For this purpose, a theoretical density distribution is derived assuming that only noise conceals the time series. If the theoretical and the empirical density distribution yield significantly different entropies, an anomaly is assumed. For a local anomaly detection, the Mahalanobis distance using the theoretical noise distribution’s covariance is applied to evaluate sequences of predictions and measurements. In addition, the Wasserstein metric enables a comparison of predictions using the distance between the noise and empirical distribution as a measure for selecting the best prediction function. The proposed method performs well on nonlinear time series such as logistic growth and enables a useful selection of a prediction model for satellite orbits. Thus, the proposed method improves anomaly detection in time series and model selection for nonlinear systems.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"151 4‐5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135392874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
